  Rhea's POV

  "Why did you allow Kian to mark you?"

  I was dumbfounded for a moment before I regained my composure. What was he talking about?

  As I looked up at him, I noticed his narrowed gaze, filled with ridicule. His mouth twitched in disgust as his question replayed in my head.

  Under his authoritative voice, my legs trembled, and my chest quickly rose and fell. What did he mean by that? I stared back at him, not knowing how to respond.

  The air was tense the moment his question left his lips. Before I could process everything, he asked again.

  "Why did you let him mark you?"

  My eyelids flew open as my heart pounded rapidly. I could have laughed at his ridiculous question. Everyone knows that I am legally married to Kian. Why the unnecessary inquiry?

  Despite wanting to laugh, the seriousness in his tone left me speechless. All I could do was stare back at him.

  There was an undeniable tension between us. I felt a pull towards him, for some strange reason. Something in him called to me, while something within me yearned for his affection.

  I was drawn to him, and my mind became clouded. His burning gaze was fixed on me, determined to get an answer.

  As his eyes trailed down my body, I became self-conscious about the small opening around my chest. He had his gaze fixed on my breasts.

  Noticing his stare, I quickly pulled my long hair forward, shielding my exposed skin from his gaze.

  Daemon scowled at me, his expression murderous as he glared. I swallowed with difficulty and stood rooted to my spot, unable to move.

  And then something flashed through his eyes. He seemed hungry. The look on his face, mixed with the seductiveness in his eyes, weakened my knees. A tingling sensation spread through my stomach and straight between my legs.

  I trembled with desire as his heated gaze ignited a fire deep within me.

  For unknown reasons, I brought my hands up and gently trailed my fingers around the marked spot with my gaze fixed on him.

  I noticed the murderous look on his face as his gaze fell on the mate mark around my neck. His rage scared me, but at the same time, it confused me.

  Why was he acting this way? Was he concerned about me, or was it about what happened earlier today?

  Daemon would be the last person to care for me. Maybe he was just pitying me after seeing what transpired earlier.

  It would be better if I didn't read any meaning into his strange behavior. I didn't want to make my life more complicated than it already was.

  The silent murmurs of the Alphas present drew back my attention, and I gasped, looking stunned.

  I didn't even remember that we were still in a meeting with the Alphas of the stronger packs, and for some minutes, I felt ashamed and embarrassed.

  "Uhmm," I grunted out. My palms grew a little clammy as I clutched onto my long flowing gown. Biting down on my bottom lip, I seemed embarrassed, but I wouldn't allow them to see that.

  "Uh, I really appreciate your concern, King Daemon, but I would appreciate it if you stopped asking me those questions because that's my personal life," I said, earning a gasp from everyone present in the room.

  Daemon's eyes looked conflicted as they stared back at me. There was a bulging pain inside me. It was as if my heart was against me, not wanting any care from him, but I couldn't do anything.

  I am legally married to Kian, the Alpha of the Blackwood Pack, and was also claimed in front of every werewolf realm as his mate, so I wasn't supposed to feel attracted to another male wolf when I am already married and have a mate.

  Being a public figure, a lot of people look up to me as their mentor, and misbehaving publicly is not a good example to portray at all.

  Besides, I am here for the pack's affairs. Clearing my throat, I tore my gaze away from him and refocused on the Alphas.

  I understand their reasons for murmuring. Who talks to Daemon like that? He is a merciless, ruthless being.

  Letting out a light chuckle, he adjusts himself before uttering, "You want to ally with us, don't you?"

  His sudden question took me by surprise, and I gulped with nervousness. What is he up to? I instantly felt a sharp thud in my heart, making me nervous.

  "Yeah. I mean, yes, we would like to form an alliance with you all and would highly appreciate it if our little request is considered," I break the syllables one by one with a nervous smile plastered on my face.

  Daemon's eyes flickered at me while silently tapping his jaw thoughtfully. The room was deadly quiet as everyone was anticipating to hear his answer.

  I know that whatever his answer might be will affect our alliance with other packs here positively or negatively, depending on his response.

  I can feel my fraying nerves and the racing of my pulse. The way my heart was pounding damn fast, causing me to bite down on my lips while staring hopefully at him to accept the offer.

  I know it is a hard choice for them to stand with us. The Thorn pack is single-handedly managed by King Daemon without any alliance with any pack.

  And still, they are the strongest and largest pack in the whole history of the werewolves realm. Strange, right? Every single Alpha wants something to do with the pack, and that's why I said that his answer would either affect us positively or negatively.

  Picking at my nails, I patiently waited for him to speak up. His deep black eyes were fixed on me, as if he was studying me.

  There was something about the way he looked at me. Hours had passed, and we were still waiting for his response.

  As I thought it was over, my heart sank deep into my stomach. I shouldn't have made him wait for us; that was the first sign that he might reject our offer.

  It's all your fault, Lila. I gritted the words out angrily within. But just as I had given up hope, he suddenly broke the once-quiet atmosphere. His deep voice cut through the air, his words echoing in my ears.

  "We accept the alliance with your pack," a smile broke out on my face as I looked at the other Alphas. They all seemed to share my expression, happiness written on their faces.

  But his next words caught my attention. "I just hope our journey with your pack will be smooth and steady to ride on," I noticed a nasty smirk on his face as my eyebrow twitched.

  For a few minutes, I felt proud of myself. I couldn't wait to share this news with Kian.

      Rhea's POV  "The death of your parents," I retort, unsure of what I just heard.  "Yes, who doesn't know the enmity between Clawson pack and Blackwood Pack? And your father killed my parents after getting into a fight with him," he narrated, smirking deadly at me. "I planned to make you pay tenfold for the pains I went through all these years but unfortunately I fall for you,"  I shook my head at him, and for once after the months tears slid down my face. I can't believe that I have lived all my life back then loving this monster!  The fight was between the two dead parents, what does it have to do with me and besides something must have triggered my father into killing his father.  He instantly yank my head by the side, "He still hasn't marked her," he said. "So we still have a chance,"  "So what next?" He asked.  "You decided, either you kill her or eloped with her," he nodded at her and turned to look at me.  "I will prefer to end us," I lift my head to look at him. "I will

      Daemon's POV  "They.... took her away,"  "Do you know where they want to go?" He is already slipping away.  "Where did they take her?!" I shook him, by gaze pleading for him to say a word.  "The cave.... "  "Yes, which of the caves?"  "The cave..."  "Oh! Shit… Come one," I heard Sam curse under his breath.  "Look we are here to save Luna Rhea so tell us which cave did you hear them say?" Wilfred said to him as he shook his shoulders.  "The... waterfall," his head tilted instantly to the other side and I knew that he was gone.  "Waterfall," I murmured, sounding confused.  The guards exchanged a confused look, "Waterfall," Wilfred repeated the word.  "Wait...!" We all turned to face Sam, "I think I understand what he is saying," he mumbled.  "I think he means the hidden cave beside the waterfall,"  "Cabe beside the waterfall," my face caressed in confusion, "Which waterfall?"  "The one you know," he let out.  "We only have one waterfall,"  "Yes, that's it," Sam nodded

      Rhea's POV  We all screamed the last word and instantly transformed into our wolves rushing toward the rogues, the fight began and howls and cries were heard.  Despite being just five our fighting skills are impressive though we can never outnumber them, the more we kill the more another set of rogues crawl out from the trees around there.  I jumped on the nearest rogue beside me and quickly pulled out his heart while biting off the other rogue with my sharp teeth. The fight lasted for a while and nobody from the pack arrived.  My warriors are getting weak, I watched in horror as the rogues were pulling out their hearts and killing them all in that spot.  It was just the remaining two and they rushed to my side, "What should we do? These rogues are much,"  I gulped when looking at the other rogues, despite having killed some but those remaining were still much.  "Not giving up," I said to them as we all rushed back to the fight. The warriors are already tired and it wasn't tha

      Rhea's POV  "You must have put a lot of effort into making this," I said to him. He reached for the wine and poured it into our glasses. "Anything for you," he winked when taking a sip from his glass.  "Never pictured you as a romantic type," I chuckled, "Yeah you are right I am not a romantic type," we both laughed.  After that we never talked and continued with the food, I can feel the tension building up within us. I kept stealing glances from each other, I wanted to move toward his side and into him but I feel so glued to my spot to even move up.  After lunch, we joked and played around for a while. We were having so much fun when suddenly the weather changed, signaling that it was going to rain. So Daemon decided that we head back to the pack, I wasn't all that happy but he was right we have nowhere to clash if it started raining so I followed him.  Once we reached the pack I walked back to the room, I guess it is now our room. I was about to close the door when suddenly it

  • The Lycan King’s Broken Luna   CHAPTER 108 A Date

      Rhea's POV  Realization dawned on me as I continued to stare in that direction that I once saw him, so we weren't mates after all and he lied to me.  But he gave me a mark, "That wasn't a real mark though I am glad that I have finally reconnected with you,"  I have a lot on my mind that I paid less attention to her words, Daemon stepped forward and touched my fur. I felt sparks shot through my whole body, so he has always been my mate all this while. I watched Eleanor lean into his touch as he pats her head and kisses her face.  He was rubbing my furs and back, trying to calm me a bit down... He sure knows what I need right now.  The moon slowly went back and I transformed back to my human form. Daemon held me before I could make it to the ground. I think I will get used to transforming back from human to wolf.  Going around naked is nothing to werewolves though Daemon shades my naked body away from people seeing it. I suddenly went shy under his lustful stares. He pulled out h

      Rhea's POV  But the feeling inside me was restless, my heart feels so heavy and I know the only thing to stop it is fresh air, and inside here were all locked up. Breeze is not coming from anywhere, the room is so dark that you can hardly see anything.  I think that I need to open the window or create a hole for the breeze to enter. If not I will suffocate in here. My whole body was heating up and it felt like I was trapped inside a burning flame.  Managing to place my palms on the bed, I crawled out and started looking for the window. Pushing some objects alone to the floor and my toes hit some hard objects but the pain inside me was so much that I didn't even notice that I hit my leg on anything.  I started taking it slowly till I found the window, I pulled on it but it was locked up. I groaned in annoyance, what do I do... What should I do?  Ahh!! The pain was getting too much, so I rushed toward the door banging loudly on it. My bones felt like it was on fire, I cried out an
